RussTCB Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm gonna go ahead and contribute to the subject now that I understand it (sorry again Towlie!):I've had 2 or 3 non-forum people go to GN'R shows with me since 2002 and many of them have come away liking 4tus the most. The most comment I hear most often is that they just think he's a bad ass blues guitarist. A couple people have also mentioned his stage presence, the way he attacks his guitars, slings them around, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Dude look just like Izzy. You can't hate Izzy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faxl Rows Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He's just cool and quiet, apart from joining in the 'soon' chorus once a year. Apart from that you never seem to hear about/from him, all signs point to a humble guy rightfully being employed on the basis of his impressive chops.

luciusfunk Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 He doesn't look like an idiot and he doesn't suck. Neither does Ron though and yet folks still ragged on him.Strange name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route66 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 In a nutshell.. for me anyway.. he was fcuking cool when i met him a few times. 4tus rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've noticed this for a while now. Even those who despise NuGNR don't seem to mind Fortus. I've seen several folks talk about an original band reunion adding Fortus into the mix. Why would you say Richard gets a free pass over the likes of Finck, Ron or BH (lets pretend DJ never happened)?What does Finck, Bucket, Dj,and Bumble all have in common that richard doesn't?The other guys didn't replace Slash. That's why!No matter how good the other guys were, you'll never be accepted for replacing slash no matter how much better or worse you are.

The most comment I hear most often is that they just think he's a bad ass blues guitarist. A couple people have also mentioned his stage presence, the way he attacks his guitars, slings thm around, etc.He does have this kind of "mellow" or a real "Chill" kind of cool presence when he is up there..and he looks like izzy so that helps tremendously..?I feel the same way though. Saw them live for the first time in person a few years ago. Ashba Icould understand fans having a hard time- seems like he just tried too hard to be something he wasn't. And again, Richard didn't replace Slash. That is just an irreplaceable position. It'd be like replacing page with Slash, as incredible as Slash is he just isn't jimmy page and zeppelin fans would hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoking guns Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why would he, a lead player, want to play rhythm to Slash? What makes him Rhythm player? Give him the boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 He has always seemed to know his role and what this band is, never tries to be more than he is in the context of nu guns. The most annoying thing can be his party line interviews of "something amazing happening soon!" but all things considered he is an incredibly gifted guitarist who wasn't trying to be something he wasn't.

wasted Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Not a nerd or a LA playboy and can play. Only thing you can say is he's not Izzy and that's really not his fault. He's given a couple of false hopes but that could be seen as ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Simply put, Fortus is by far the most talented musician in Axl's band. And that includes BBF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
